Hehee... My entire knowledge of American geography was learnt
as a result of being a roleplayer, mainly along the lines, of
"Where the hell _is_ Lake Geneva anyway?"
"Hmmm.. There it is! *points at Atlas* Beside that lake..."
"Say! There's Chicago! That's there FASA are..."
"And there's Bloomington... GDW..."
"There's Detroit as well... Palladium..."
"Where the fuck's Stone Mountain, though..."
"It's that place with the big carvings of people..."
"What? Mount Rushmore?"
"Noo! I dunno - Look it up in the Index for Chrissake..."
&c &c &c...

Quite a cool way of learning your geography, I'm sure you'll
admit.

By the way, I never knew where Seattle was until I started
playing Shadowrun...
